Total Station Survey of over 100 commercial properties had revealed that BBMP had lost more than ₹500 crore
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is once again attempting to recover dues from the owners of over 100 commercial properties that had been undervalued. The Total Station Survey (TSS) that was taken by the civic body of over 100 commercial properties in all zones in the city had revealed that the BBMP had lost more than ₹500 crore in property tax, including ₹116.93 crore in East zone alone. The report was tabled in the BBMP council in August 2020, following which the civic body issued notices to the property owners. However, after receiving their replies, many cases were closed by the zonal joint commissioners.
